I'm sorry, Ms. Beck, but I have so few seconds left. If you can provide us with more of this in writing, we would appreciate it.
I'll turn now to Dr. Verhagen.
Dr. Verhagen, welcome to Canada, even though you are attending the meeting virtually.
I'd like to know the social status of the seven mature minors who requested medical assistance in dying.
In our country, we're told that we must be cautious, since the poorest and most vulnerable Canadians are the ones requesting medical assistance in dying. However, statistics show that most people who have received MAiD but were not mature minors came from the middle class. They had a roof over their head and 85% to 87% of them had already begun receiving palliative care. However, they wanted to decide how they would die.
